Ever heard the term “burl wood”? Though it sounds like a type of tree, it’s not. A burl is actually an external growth that can form on any tree undergoing stress such as an injury or fungal infection. If the tree's growth hormones are disrupted it will produce a large dark burl (or bump) on the outside. Once cut open, however, an array of colorful looking lumps and swirls will appear.

Each of these mid-century night stands features a burl wood trim and two drawers.
